Osoro GEO vs Ahrefs · questions
Frequently asked questions
- Do I still need SEO tools like Ahrefs if I use Osoro GEO?
- Yes. Ahrefs is best-in-class for the ranking web - backlink index, keyword research, rank tracking, site audit - and remains useful even as AI answers rise. Osoro GEO scores the citation web (the four CITE signals AI engines use to decide who to cite) and is complementary rather than a replacement.
- Isn't AI Overviews tracking already in Ahrefs?
- Ahrefs added an AI Overviews module bolted onto its ranking stack. Osoro GEO is built AI-first: it measures citation across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews on the same query set and returns a diagnostic against the four signal groups those engines actually weight, not the classic-ranking signals.
- Is Osoro GEO cheaper than Ahrefs?
- Osoro GEO's workspace starts at £39/month, materially below the standard Ahrefs plans, and the free scan runs without an account. The tools solve different jobs, so the comparison is about scope rather than price alone.
- Does Osoro GEO have a free tier?
- Yes. Osoro GEO runs a free 30-second scan on any URL with no account and no card required, returning the overall GEO score plus the four CITE pillar scores (Technical, Content, Entity, Trust) and top issues. Paid workspace plans start from £39/month for continuous tracking and the full audit.
- Which AI engines does Osoro GEO track?
- Osoro GEO tracks citation across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews - the four engines that account for the bulk of AI answer traffic - on the same fixed query set week over week so movement is real movement.
